Breakfast Robot is the BEST Robot

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but also probably the most skipped. Simone Giertz wanted to create a machine that would help her start off the day right, so she documented the process for Motherboard. But what she ended up with was this hilariously inept robot.

You can read her step-by-step guide, but it’s best summed up in this video (or this GIF):

To be fair, the robot is only slightly worse than the rest of us at pouring stuff in the morning.

Our favorite part is that she’s reading Robin Hobb. In the future, this is how we will all find the time to read doorstopper fantasy novels.

Reminded me immediately of Terry Pratchett’s Thief of Time:

One of the former masters had made a tick tock man, all levers and gearwheels and cranks and clockwork. Instead of a brain, it had a long tape punched with holes. Instead of a heart, it had a big spring. Provided everything in the kitchen was very carefully positioned, the thing could sweep the floor and make a passable cup of tea. If everything wasn’t carefully positioned, or if the ticking, clicking thing hit an unexpected bump, then it’d strip the plaster off the walls and make a furious cup of cat.
